[email protected] Website: www.lancastercityfc.com Welcome . WWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWELCOME Good afternoon and welcome to our opening home Northern Premier League game against Bas- ford United. We would like to extend a warm welcome to their Players, officials and supporters along with the match officials and hope they enjoy their visit. The midweek FA Cup tie proved to be a tense affair and I am sure none of us anticipated it ending up with a penalty shoot out. Whilst out performance was below par, credit should also go to Runcorn who were competitive throughout and could have secured a win themselves. The game also saw a visit from the police to check on our Covid safety procedures which high- lighted a few issues which has resulted in extra precautions being implemented. It is important that we all follow the regulations in place if we are to continue operating as we are now. The draw for the next round has paired us with another North West Counties side, Skelmersdale United which gives us a great opportunity to progress further although we will almost certainly need a better performance than Tuesday to progress Basford United have not made the start to the season I am sure they were looking for having lost both games to date. An opening league fixture against Warrington Town is always going to be a tough start but they will have been extremely disappointed to have gone out of the FA Cup at Chasetown in midweek.
